HOLY HAMMER
Caer sees that the others do not seem to have noticed the small child, nor heard his request for assistance. The clanging of their metal plugs their ears and their minds. He knew that his visage was not one to naturally inspire trust.

He takes a moment to stake stock of the situation as the child retreats, looking around at the baubles briefly to see if there is anything out of the ordinary. He is especially keen to see if any of them might be purely from the wilds, and extends his senses to determine if any might be shadow or fey touched.

Then Caer re-centers his attention on the child. He knows that he doesn't have tongue to convince the child to overcome her fear, but he realizes that might be able to appeal to her desire to survive. And that was something Caer understood far too well. Because the child was part of nature, and all nature wants to fight to survive.

Listen, child. I understand your fear. But if you stay here, you will die afraid. Come now and live. You are afraid of those monsters, but I am the monster to them. Walk with me and survive, as I will strike them down.

OOC: ...um, a little confused that no one is helping with the child. Caer is like a charisma sink. Let's see how this goes! Rolls for pendants- Unusual (perception) Perception: 1D20+7 = [8]+7 = 15 Shadow/Fey (insight) Insight: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19 Nature (nature) Nature: 1D20+2 = [18]+2 = 20 And I'm going to use survival on my roll to get the kid out. If not, subtract 5 from the roll since Caer has no charisma modifiers. Survival: 1D20+5 = [7]+5 = 12 Eh. It was worth a shot.

Stratus had hoped that Caer would take care of the child, as he was uncomfortable with children - they were so very small. But he sighed, realizing that he should have known better, as Caer had no softness whatsoever. Stratus could tell that all his talk of 'monsters' was only going to scare the tiny thing more than reassure her. He bent low to look under the table and smiled, saying, "We will not harm you, little one. Come here and you can climb on my shoulder, where no one can reach you."

OOC: Stratus managed a 12 CHA Persuasion check.
